Can I Prep the Meals and Consume Them Later in the Day?Updated a month ago

šŸ½ļø Can I Prep the Meals and Eat Them Later?

We know life can get busy, and it is completely natural to wonder if you can prepare your meals ahead of time. While our meals are designed to be quick and simple to make on the spot, there are a few things to keep in mind if you are thinking about prepping in advance.


ā° Timing Your Meals for Best Results

For the best nutritional benefit, we recommend enjoying your meals within 10 minutes of preparing them.

Why?
After this time, some nutrients may begin to break down, especially water-soluble vitamins. When you are following a low-calorie diet, every bit of nutrition counts, so eating your meals freshly prepared is always the best choice, where possible.


🄣 Can I Prepare in Advance?

Most of our meals are quick and easy to prepare, even with a busy schedule. However, if you do need to prep in advance:

  • Try to eat your meals as fresh as possible
  • If eating later, you may wish to take a vitamin and mineral supplement to help top up any nutrients that may be lost over time

This ensures you are still supporting your health and staying on track with your goals.


šŸš—šŸ’¼ On the Go Tips

Busy day ahead? Here are a few handy ways to stay prepared without meal prep:

āœ…Ā Take a bottle of water and a shake sachet — just mix when ready
āœ…Ā Keep a bar in your bag for a quick, no prep option
āœ… Carry a flask of boiling water to make soups or meals wherever you are

These easy options make it simple to stay in control, no matter what your day looks like.
